Sounds like he’s going to take it to court if they try and keep this behind closed doors. More fireworks before the Democratic party takes over the house.
I see they’re going to try and do something with Clinton as well, given it’s their last chance for another dog and pony show.
Good point. If there’s anything Comey wants to keep out of the public sphere, the WORST place to do that would be a private hearing in front of House Republicans.
That’s a virtual guarantee it will go public, but without attribution or context.
The Clinton foundation stuff is particularly amusing.
They need something for '19, so I guess claiming Democrats shut down their totally real and totally legit investigation of the Clinton foundation might be what they’re going for.
Recalling how frequently he deferred to answer “in an open setting” during his previous testimony, it seems he’s already expressed his preference of setting and the impediment that an open setting interview would provide.
He stated his preference repeatedly and it wasn’t always because there was an open investigation.
Irrepspective of his reasons, the point stands. He has already stated that he won’t answer some questions in an open setting, so the questions should be asked in a classified setting.
